OK fellas. I'm a terrible bassist. I mean an awful bassist. A terrible, awful bassist.
But I'd like to get better. Ultimately I'd like to be a decent bassist. As such, I've been trying to find people to play with. Sadly, living in a small town, the amount of people that I can meet with is limited, and almost none of these people play instruments. So I found this service called Ninjam. It's a free program that helps you set up jam sessions online. I don't know how it works/gets around latency problems and whatnot, but I do know that I've dropped into some of the rooms and there is some great music being created there, so it must function fairly well.
What I'm getting at is that anyone here who wants to jam sometime should get on and do so. You can use any instrument so long as the audio is of decent quality. We'll have to find a room where we aren't bombing someone else's session (setting up a server looks daunting to me, so we may have to just find an empty one... although someone versed in tech stuff might be able to figure out the server situation), but aside from that it shouldn't be too difficult. Any level would be welcome; like I said, I'm in this for learning, so if you want to learn to play your instrument with other people and are willing to take advice, feel free to join.
I figure there should be at least some level of interest in this, seeing as I've discussed similar setups with Bert and Spudster before and they agreed that it would be neat to collaborate with other brickfilmers on musical ventures.
